My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 145

Victoria said, "I truly admire you for the first time when I saw you in the president's office."

"At that time, I was completely stunned because I promised the Camdens that I would cut off all means of a livelihood for you in the future."

"The fact that you were able to suddenly become the president of Ace Corporation proved that your capabilities are probably far greater than anyone I know!"

"Yet, I ignorantly provoked you. All my efforts to get to the top during the past seven years would have been for nothing if you wanted to take revenge against me."

"However, you didn't take revenge and instead allowed me to continue being the deputy president of Ace Corporation."

"Your ambition, magnanimity, and mannerisms are traits I have never seen in other men."

"Since then, I have started to fancy you a little..."

Women are easily touched, especially when they meet a stronger and more powerful man than them.

Jordan teased, "I thought you liked me since the time I pulled your ears!"

Victoria was extremely imposing at Diana's birthday banquet the other day, and she insisted that Jordan repeat his words.

At that time, Jordan took it that she was deaf and pulled her ear to whisper into it.

Victoria drank a lot of wine, so her face was flushed, but she blushed further after hearing his words.

"1 haven't had a boyfriend in seven years. When you came up, you grabbed my ear immediately, and there were so many people present at that time. I was both shy and furious. That's why I agreed to help Mrs. Camden Senior cut off all means of a livelihood for you in the future."

"I've been on tenterhooks for the past seven years in Orlando, and I would never casually offend anyone."

Jordan smiled when he recalled the incident that day. He merely pulled her ear because he thought she was pretty.

"And then?" Jordan wanted to hear Victoria continue with her explanation.

Victoria confessed, "I liked you, more or less because of your family's mystery, and I wanted to be your girlfriend so that I could see firsthand how powerful your family really is."

"But after listening to you play and sing that song at the concert, I was completely mesmerized by you."

Jordan was a little surprised. "You mean when I sang 'A Thousand Reasons to be Sad'?"

At that time, Jordan had sung that song for Hailey, and he looked just like a superstar when he was playing the piano on the stage. Many girls were screaming in joy.

Even Hailey couldn't help but shake off Tyler, who had proposed to her and especially chased after Jordan to say some sweet nothings to him.

Jordan finally understood what the Camdens liked about him. It wasn't just his looks, talent, and family background but also his devotion to Hailey.

His devotion had touched Victoria and made her feel that he was an emotional man who took his relationship seriously.

Moreover, Jordan even gave Victoria a $10,000 purse and made her the president of Ace Corporation, fulfilling the wish that she had for years.

What reason does Victoria have not to like Jordan?

At this time, Jordan no longer doubted if Victoria's feelings for him were genuine or not.

She was different from Elie. She didn't deliberately approach Jordan because she suspected that Jordan was pretending to be expelled from his family.

She liked Jordan for who he was, and it had nothing to do with whether or not he was the scion of the Steele family.

Victoria lowered her head slightly and said, "I know, I'm not as pretty as Hailey, nor am I as young as her. You mind it that I'm older than you and that I've been someone's mistress for three years."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken it upon myself to confess my love to you, and I'm sorry if it disgusted you."

"Let's drink and just take it that I didn't say anything just now, okay?"

Victoria picked up the glass and was about to pour Jordan some more red wine.

However, Jordan grabbed Victoria's wrist and pulled her towards himself. Their faces were just an inch apart.
